Klonopin (clonazepam): Klonopin (clonazepam) has been linked to some risk of fetal problems when the mother is taking it during pregnancy, but these don't apply when the father alone is taking it. You don't say why you're on the Klonopin (clonazepam) -- hopefully you and your doctor are working on the core issue, rather than simply medicating with a habit-forming drug for an extended time. Be well.
